In 1998, Susan Conley moved to Dublin for twelve months. She’s delighted she hung around long enough to begin a career in reviewing beauty products and services — it’s tough job, but she’s happy to do it.
Additionally, Sue has variously worked in graphic design, theatre and film; these days, in addition to writing novels, she is a cultural critic and feature writer for several leading Irish publications, including the Evening Herald and Irish Theatre Magazine Online.
Her first two novels, Drama Queen and The Fidelity Project, published by Headline UK, are available on paper and e-books, on all iterations of Amazon.
Her third, That Magic Mischief had its digital debut in 2013, and is soon to be re-released, probably independently, who knows.
Sue’s memoir, Many Brave Fools: A Story of Addiction, Dysfunction, Codependency… and Horses is published by Trafalgar Square Books and recounts the growth and insights she acquired after having taken up horse riding as an adult, post-divorce. See manybravefools.com for more info.
Writing as Susanna Allen, her first series, The Shapeshifters of the Beau Monde, earned acclaim as, variously, an Amazon Editor’s pick (A Wolf in Duke’s Clothing); number one Amazon bestseller (A Wolf in Duke’s Clothing and A Most Unusual Duke) and a Publishers Weekly starred review (A Duke at the Door).

She has recently gotten back into screenwriting, and has three features in various stages of development: one that was meant to be a novel, The Gift Horse, a romance in the Hallmark vein; Run, which is a mother-daughter indie-coded drama, and the adaptation of her first romance novel, Drama Queen, is underway.
…just mailed you a request to get in touch re. art & writing and had a wee look into your blog. My private “art-transport” system is called “flying colours” – coincidence?(one of my paint boxes nearly suffered a controlled explosion in late 1980s Belfast…other exciting stories…well, just get in touch if you want and let’s see how we get along!) We could even go 1/2 ers on a horse, but I recently got more into motorbike racing in Berlin. (My next race is on the 4th of July: http://www.es-rockers.de)
Lots of greetings, Keike.
Hey Sue- looks like you’re doing great! Awesome. Ran across a tape you made in 1990 and thought you might like it? Happy to send, it’s great. Can’t find an email or FB page for you but mine is the same- just my name. Cheers -bkb
